July 7th 2012

Today was the day I was going to get all my presents for my friends, Brian and his parents. I got a few small things for Amanda, Katie and Rachel like key-rings and rock. I was glad I got their presents out of the way and I also had key-rings that I won on a machine that I would be giving them too because they are really nice. I wasn't really sure about what to get Brian so I just had a look around loads of shops and markets and then I found this big teddy bear that was brown and holding a heart saying "I Love You". I thought to myself that it was perfect, I knew he would love it. I was pleased with myself, I also got a magnet for Brian's parents and I got some chocolates for them too. In the end I ended up getting the bear, London 2012 wristbands and a West Ham rock for Brian and for his parents I got the Blackpool Tower statue, chocolates and magnet. I bought myself a nice dress too for £20 which I think was worth it because it is gorgeous and I love it.

Later on in the day me and my family went to have a nice walk along the piers and have a look at the shops there too. Central Pier was like all touristy and there was people there trying to get you to come play their game in the chance of winning a prize. We were enjoying ourselves walking along the pier on a nice sunny, hot day. The atmosphere was great and the we headed back to the shops on the main street in Blackpool. I think when we got tired we went into Coral Island which is like an amusement place where there is some restaurants and loads of casino type games. We spent about 2 hours there and about £40 playing the games. My mam won me and Dean a teddy each a couple of days ago on the derby horse race game. Dean got like a white tiger and I got a turtle like the one in the Mario games. She went over to try win some more teddies. This time she only won a half a win which was if there was more than 8 people playing you get a half win if you come first and if there is under 8 people playing you get a full win. We decided to go over to the place where you could win something with a half win. Seeing as Dean got something the other day with tickets, it was my chance to pick something. There wasn't much selection but anyway I got a blue piggy bank. Its really nice and fat :P


The rest of the day was spent looking around the shops and then heading back to the shopping center where our car was parked to look at the shops there and buying even more. Another hour or so passed and then we decided to go back to the holiday park.
This is a picture of a bear which is similar to the one I got Brian:
